Since 1976, Kong Hans Kælder's Gothic cellar charms with impeccably crafted French cuisine, stellar wine pairings, and polished, intimate service.
"This elegant restaurant is set in an intimate, historic and wonderfully atmospheric cellar, where a charming team attend to your every need. Cooking is rooted in French gastronomy, with its luxury ingredients and rich flavours, but the chef also stamps his own mark on the accomplished, imaginative dishes, with some subtle modernisation and lighter touches." - Michelin Inspector
"This fine dining restaurant is an institution, and many young talented chefs have kicked off careers in the kitchen. It was the first restaurant in Copenhagen to ever receive a Michelin star in 1983 and it got its second one in 2021 with Mark Lundgaard as the head chef. The dining rooms are located underground, in the cellar of the oldest building in Copenhagen, an auspicious site for the restaurant’s classic cooking rooted in French gastronomy, like turbot cooked in a salt crust, whole roasted duck, and an impressive cheese cart. The cellar is a gem for wine nerds into old-school wines, and the tasting menu comes with several exclusive pairings on offer." - Anna Norström, Gabe Ulla
